Although i have been one of those critics i didn't mind the singing from her yesterday, it was fine and her voice is good. That said i'm not a fan of singing on Neighbours whether it be Nina Tucker, Karl Kennedy, Georgia Brooks, Ty Harper, Rachel Kinski or Madison
Robinson. I just don't think it should be a part of the show as often as Neighbours has it.

She still isn't a great actress, but she improves with time. I think really looking at it you would still concede that she is one of the weakest actresses on the show wouldn't you Jimmy??
she is, and is probably the least experienced, but the vast majority of comments are getting far too personal in nature and therefore are completely out of place

She is a beautiful girl and her character comes across as sweet and principled (she put her job on the line for Amy) but she lacks experience.The writers are to blame as usual - because she is supposed to be Kylie's daughter she is expected to sing! Too many people have tried to start a singing career off Neighbours after Kylie and Jason, but most of them have been poor, except perhaps Delta Gudrum. Even Jason didn't achieve the heights Kylie did. It's time Neighbours stopped this - Karl and his singing are a running gag, but everything else should have the plug pulled on it!

So, Amy gets Ryan's keys and then gets panicky once she's in his car. In fact, so panicky, she has trouble finding out which key fits the glove compartment. She'd have gotten out the car quicker if she had been calmer. I might be wrong, but I have doubts about Ned's claim that the lock of blonde hair he's been carrying around with him is some other girl's and not Lauren's. I have a feeling he'd crap himself if Lauren and Brad told told Ned that they had had the lock of hair DNA tested. His face would likely drop. Amy and Aaron will probably be on a mission now to try and get Ryan's hard drive. Amy did the wrong thing by touching it with her hand. She should have taken along a thin pair of gloves, even though she wasn't quick enough because of being too panicky.

I kinda thought if you had his car keys, why not actually just drive away with the car and take it somewhere quiet where you can search it properly?

but then surely he would no doubt call the police and get her arrested for stealing?

I had the exact same thought

Not necessarily - for a start she wouldn't need to go far, just a comfortable distance where he wouldn't be able to catch up on foot - maybe even near Ramsay St so that once she found the hard drive she could just walk home and abandon the car... I can't see him calling the police as I'm sure he's got a lot to hide in that car - by the time the police got round to investigating/caring she would be long gone with the hard drive and could even have driven the car back to him so there'd be no crime to report

Anyway it's all just speculation which would be far too logical and sensible for a show like Neighbours to consider - they always choose the most dramatic, most unrealistic option in any given situation - like Terese destroying the USB without checking all the footage; conveniently just before she'd seen Cooper and Xanthe's drama

some of the comments about Sarah Ellen in this thread are pathetic and I am not someone that goes around looking for offensive remarks, they need to stop, she is far from the worst actress ever to have been in the soap and her singing voice was perfectly fine for a TV show too
She's not the best but she may improve. I don't mind her character, she's sweet and inoffensive. Unlike Didge

Or at least lock it from the inside.

No one watch today? Was an alright episode. Loved it when Therese had Ryans car towed. However is it me or does it seen like the cannings will never see the CCTV of Xanthe and Cooper in the hotel room?

It was an okay episode, the Terese and Ryan part was really very good and well done. I have to say im sick of the Paige Jack storyline, it is very boring, as been strung out for far too long and just isnt that interesting.

With the Cannings they are a great family unit and you do hope that they will get this saga with over and get rid of Cooper. They will eventually see it, but perhaps not for the time being. In some ways i felt sorry for Gary being arrested today, he was just trying to help Xanthe in the only way he knows.

Looks like Cooper's lies are soon to be exposed. His arrogance won't be there for much longer once Terese, I hope, shows the police the footage of Cooper trying to force himself on Xanthe. I think Paige will become more involved in religion as she continues to kid herself that Jack will soon choose her. How stupid of Gary to go looking for Cooper after he was ordered by the court not to be near Cooper or communicate with him. Of course, Xanthe didn't help by basically getting her dad angry for her. Ryan thought he had got one over on Terese by charging a very high price for the laptop and hard drive. Ryan should have known that Terese would have found out what she could hit him back with once she got back to the hotel.

You know I actually really like Gary as a character. He annoyed me first time round but he actually works. He's a bit of an idiot - getting roped in with Paul, going off at Cooper - but it all is very character appropriate and I love how he is with Sheila and Xanthe. He's also very believable as Kyle's dad!

I swear to god the Jack and Paige thing seems to just hit the same points over and over again without any progression whatsoever. I laughed a little at Terese having Ryan's car towed after getting the hard drive. I love the Cannnigs but I did despair a little when Gary went off at Cooper after being told not to go near him earlier on in the episode. Still think it's a little weird that Terese and Amy have only just realised that the hidden camera's could've recorded what went down with Xanthe and Cooper at Lassiters.

The people who hate her must watch a different show than what I do. I find Madison to be a fun, bubbly character.

I don't think anyone on here hates her- Just some of us find her acting skills to be incredibly lacking....

Yes, comments have been made about her acting but nobody hates her. Most comments centre on her scatting and singing but all acknowledge that she is stunningly pretty , and that the character of Madison is a sweet natured girl. Elly has attracted a lot of dislike (see GGS three) but not Madison.

so - nobody hates her!

The only reason I'm not a huge fan of Madison is that, well, she's not very interesting. She's kind of...too good. She doesn't seem to have any character flaws or make any mistakes which would make for a good story, apart from maybe mentioning "Logan" a few times.

If she was a girl in real life she'd be a great person but for a soap character, she falls kind of flat.

Paige and Jack - I really wish this would wrap up, it's very tedious and Paige seems to think she can pull a Thorn Birds on him. If I was her I'd be with Tyler and his man bun in a flash instead of mooning over the charisma free zone that is Father Jack.

Paige has become quite boring lately, either she's with Tyler or Jack or both. Does she not care about her family now, she hardly seems to spend any time with her parents or siblings, it's all about the boys for her.

Desperately trying to catch up after putting Neighbours on hold for the Olympics. I don't seem to have missed much and think I might just delete the rest and read the comments on here instead

so - nobody hates her!
Exactly - no one has said they hate her but her acting skills are poor. Not her fault as she's not been cast properly. Isn't she an Instagram star or some such in Australia? If a proper actress has been cast and the character developed then fair enough. As it is she was put into a role because of her popularity with youngster who like the whole social media thing. Her commenting that she smashed it in certain scenes doesn't help as she's wooden and smashes nothing. She's far from being Didge though.

Now if I was to hate anyone it would be Elly. That's if I had the inclination or temperament to hate someone who's a pretend person on a TV show. I liked old Elly and while I was disappointed to see who was cast I wasn't prepared for such a downright awful character. For all of it I blame the casting and the writing especially for girls. Paige was written as a selfish cow who was obsessed with Jack and behaving in an awful way, Piper as a childish brat who wanted her own way and didn't care who she hurt, Elly is just nasty, Madison doesn't seem to be thought through properly - Charlene was feisty and Scott had some personality but their daughter is written as being way too nice without a single flaw, Terese seemed to flick a switch on her grief, Lauren is boring (mop dance?), Susan got all ridiculous for a while and Sonya is more yes but no but yes than ever. Steph could do no wrong for me and her and Amy are good together. I can't watch at the moment as I have no TV for a while so I'll be keeping up to date with your comments.

Gary Canning has been an excellent addition to the show. I love his attempts at being a Dad to Xanthe, and it brings out the best in her too.
